This is more of a personal philosophy, but I still believe it to be true. Whenever you are gifted with the opportunity to travel, you have the privilege of sharing that experience with the world. Whether through taking pictures, video, writing blogs, or something else, always share what you've experienced. This is especially true when you do missions work, because odds are that the reason you had the opportunity to travel is because someone or many someones paid for your trip.
It's always just that one more thing to add to what you have to do at the end of the trip, or the end of the day during the trip, but it's incredibly worthwhile. Even if you just write a little bit, or post a few pictures online, it not only helps people back home know what you're experiencing, it also helps you process it, and give a lil' extra thought to it rather than collapsing after a tiring day (or partying on through the night).
Memories can be fickle. It may be "an experience you'll remember for the rest of your life", but really, you probably won't end up remembering much more than a feeling and a few images in your head unless you record something of what happened.
